    In Absentia, Latin Won't Bring Her Close to Me

    Waiting for you  is like waiting to shake the priest’s hand  and thank him for a beautiful funeral    In stone seamed pulpit  am I the only culprit who seeks  redemption from s(k)in in  Dead Sea Scrolls of other skin?    Ventriloquist placed your words in my mouth  and...

    • “The rigor mortis of planes on runways.”
      Quite creative imagery there and throughout.
      The first stanza could even stand as a poem by itself.
      “Ventriloquist placed your words in my mouth”

      I have none of my own any more as I am so taken by you.

      Love the concepts developed here.

      Excellent work.

    An Auburn Aubade

    On the edge of your waking dreams  let me trace the sun rise upon your skin  this could be painting-by-numbers  but my only palette are tongue and fingers    I could lie here through hibernation  turning the dit.com sitcom to fade,  your head resting on my...

      • Thank you J. I obviously wasn’t wearing my spectacles last night – it’s meant to be ‘dot.com’ not ‘dit.com’. mixing my vowels!

    Drowning of an Old Flame

    Sundial across water to the dark hills seeking solace in solstice rhymes and sunken Heavens beneath my feet   Hope slowly swims as dementia moving softly upstream promenade lights enfold into lighthouse wombs, not everything born has to shine   Dark clouds hang as an executioner's smile across harbour...

    • hello dearest Ghost this is a feeling work of art❤

    • Thank you Crim. The words are over 2 decades old and they are as distant as my feelings for her. It’s important to not get shackled to the past, otherwise they define and cause misery. I moving to foreign lands, so my stay on this site will be brief.

    Flying Kites Over Cemetery Gates and Her Journals

    Yr unig wirionedd    Love flew out of your mouth in hieroglyphics  like an invitation to a sky wedding  writ on the wrists of kites     Dawn ghosted,  as a ship’s prow through windows  tangled in curtain rigging     in the way silence enters an emptying room  sunrise gallows hang  heavy...
